📸 AJ’s Monkey & Sloth Sanctuary | Roatán, Honduras

📝 My Story

This was hands down one of the cutest and most unforgettable stops on our cruise! At AJ’s Monkey & Sloth Sanctuary, we got to hold sloths (yes, actual sloths!), feed playful monkeys, and meet other rescued animals like macaws and parrots. It was a total highlight of Roatán — and made for some of the best photos of the entire trip.

📸 Photography Tip

Use continuous (burst) mode for the monkeys — they’re fast and love to photobomb. For the sloths, go for soft natural light and a low shutter speed to capture their calm expressions.


🎉 Fun Fact

Sloths sleep up to 20 hours a day — but at AJ’s, you’ll likely meet them during their rare active moments!
